Regular detergents already contain water softening
agents, but we recommend to run a cycle with an
empty drum and a descaling product occasionally.
Always follow the instructions that you
find on the packaging of the product.
MAINTENANCE WASH
The repeated and prolonged use of low
temperature programmes can cause detergent
deposits, fluff residues, bacterial growth inside the
drum and the tub. This could generate bad odours
and mildew. To eliminate these deposits and clean
the inner part of the appliance, run a maintenance
wash regularly (at least once a month).
Refer to "Cleaning the drum"
paragraph.
DOOR SEAL WITH DOUBLE LIP TRAP
This appliance is designed with a self cleaning
draining system, allowing light fluff fibers that fall
off the clothes to be drained out with the water.
Regularly examine the seal. Coins, buttons, other
small items can be recovered at the end of the
cycle.
Clean it when needed, using ammonia cream
cleanser agent without scratching the seal surface.
Always obey the instructions that you
find on the packaging of the product.
CLEANING THE DRUM
Regularly examine the drum to prevent unwanted
deposits.
Rust deposits in the drum may occur due to rusting
foreign body in the washing or tap water containing
